A night in music brimming with shocking upsets, historic wins, tributes for artists like the late rapper Takeoff and hip-hop's 50th anniversary, the 65th Grammys were back in full swing Sunday. Once again, Beyonce was in the running for the top honor.This year was widely seen as a chance for the Grammys to honor the superstar with a marquee award, especially on a night where she could have become its most decorated artist.
The British pop star was competing against other giants in the industry: acts like ABBA, Adele, Bad Bunny, Brandi Carlile, Coldplay, Lizzo, Kendrick Lamar, and Beyonce. Styles was born and raised in Northern England and rose to fame in 2010 when he auditioned for the Simon Cowell-led talent competition show "The X Factor." He placed third with the boyband One Direction. His solo career has earned him several Grammys and Billboard-charting albums and singles.
Washington Post pop music critic Chris Richards, in a story headlined "Beyonce just made Grammy history. Why does it feel like she still lost?" wrote that her historic achievement feels hollow. Ashley Smalls, a Black feminism and pop culture doctoral student at Penn State University criticized Styles' speech in a tweet: "`this doesn't happen to people like me very often' when a Black woman hasn't won that award since 1999 is crazy lol."The artist is tied with her husband, Jay-Z, for most nominations all-time with 88 but she has only won 32 times. Most significantly, Beyonce has lost album of the year four times to Taylor Swift, Beck, Adele and now Styles.
